Dubs Rewind: All about the Warriors win over the Kings

The Warriors beat the Sacramento Kings on Friday, 119-104. But the win was much tougher to come by than it should’ve been against a team that has the second-worst record in the Western Conference. The Warriors were very sloppy but, hey, a win is a win. Here’s how it all went down.

KEY MOMENT

With 7 minutes and 55 seconds left and the Warriors up by one point, 89-88, Steve Kerr called a timeout. Whatever he said to his team worked. The Warriors then went on an 8-0 run to take a 97-88 lead with 6 minutes and 14 seconds remaining.

Kevin Durant – He finished with 33 points on 12-for-17 shooting, including going six-for-seven from beyond the 3-point line. Durant had a stretch in the fourth quarter when he scored 10 points in a row for the Warriors, including back-to-back 3-pointers.

Klay Thompson – He had 20 points on eight-for-12 shooting, including making four of his eight 3-point attempts.

Zaza Pachulia – He had a game-high 13 rebounds. He also contributed eight points on four-for-six shooting.

Nick Young – He had 12 points on four-for-six shooting from beyond the arc in just 15 minutes of play.

STOCK DOWN

Steph Curry – This just wasn’t his night. He had a team-high six turnovers and shot seven-for-17 from the field, and three-for-10 from beyond the 3-point line.

NUMBERS OF NOTE

25: That’s the number of turnovers the Warriors had. They were only one turnover shy of matching their season-worst 26 turnovers in a game against Detroit on Oct. 29. The Warriors had as many turnovers as assists (25).

6: Durant’s six 3-pointers matched his season-high from that range.

11: That’s how many games the Warriors have won following losses this season. That means the Warriors (41-11) are 11-0 following a loss.

QUOTE OF THE NIGHT

Steve Kerr was not happy with his team’s performance, especially since it followed a 30-point loss to the Utah Jazz on Tuesday. “When’s the All-Star break?” Kerr asked, before a reporter told him it was in two weeks. “Dang. I was hoping you’d say tomorrow.”

REPLAY OF THE GAME

With 6 minutes and 15 seconds left, Nick Young hit a big 3-pointer to give the Warriors a 97-88 advantage. The Warriors signed Young to make key shots, and on Friday he was a bright spot in an otherwise very mediocre performance.

UP NEXT

The Warriors play the Denver Nuggets on Saturday in the second leg of a back-to-back.
